Ratings and reviews

Very frustrated with last upset. Saved pages and favorites used to have a search function to find a specific saved page. Now, "Saved" was changed to "Activity", and the search within the save items is no longer available. Why save anything if you can't find it when you want it!

New update started installing without even a play store "installing" notification or anything. I had to wait, tapping on the widget and getting "google is updating" toasts until it finished. And now the top bar doesn't hide correctly sometimes when browsing a webpage. This update not only inconvenienced me when it was installing but is worse than the previous version.

Annoying Collections update. Now Saved Pages (always frustratingly impossible to sort and file as one might wish) are even harder to access: You can no longer click on a page to open it, but arrive at a page that makes you press a small button named Visit to open the page you clearly already wanted to open. Bad move, Google.

What's new

• Use voice commands while navigating – even when your device has no connection. Try saying "cancel my navigation" "what's my ETA?" or "what's my next turn?"
• It's easier to access privacy settings from the homescreen. Just tap your Google Account profile picture.
